Your roof works hard every day, and you usually only think about it when something goes wrong. A water stain on the ceiling, a few shingles in the yard after a windy night, or a roof that is simply showing its age can leave you wondering who to call. Northwest Roofing is here to make that decision easier.
We began in 1997 as a small remodeling and new construction contractor and launched our roofing division in 1999. Since then, we have helped families and businesses across Western North Carolina with dependable roofing services. Today, our team proudly serves property owners in Taylorsville and throughout Alexander County, including Hiddenite and Bethlehem.
Our approach has always been simple. We focus on solving each client's roofing problem, whatever that may be, and we start every project with a free, no-pressure roof inspection.

Roofing Services We Provide
Every property is different, so we offer several roofing systems to fit your needs, style, and budget. During your inspection, we will walk you through the options that make the most sense for your building.
Residential Roofing
For homeowners, we install and repair a range of roofing materials:
- Shingle roofs using high quality architectural shingles that carry a manufacturer's warranty
- Standing seam metal roofs, which are low maintenance and last an average of 50 years when properly installed
- Composite slate roofing, which offers the look of natural slate at a lower cost
- Composite shake roofing, which mimics hand-split cedar shakes without the rot and insect concerns of real wood
Architectural shingles weigh almost 50% more than standard three-tab shingles, giving them a dimensional look and added durability. Not sure which material is right for your home? Our guide to the different kinds of roof shingles is a helpful place to start.
Commercial Roofing
Business owners rely on their roofs to protect inventory, equipment, and the people inside. We provide commercial roofing with shingle roofs, metal roofs, and EPDM flat roofs. EPDM is a single-ply synthetic rubber membrane that stays flexible and handles temperature changes well, making it a reliable choice for flat and low-slope buildings.
Seamless Gutters, Gutter Screens, and Gutter Guards
A roof and its gutters work together to move water away from your home. We install residential seamless gutters, gutter screens, and gutter guards to help protect your fascia, siding, and foundation.
Foothills Weather and Your Roof
Alexander County sits in the North Carolina foothills, where the seasons can be tough on roofing materials. Spring and summer thunderstorms bring heavy rain, strong winds, and the occasional hailstorm. Winter can add ice and snow to the mix.
Most homeowners do not know what storm damage looks like from the ground. Even so, hidden wind or hail damage can shorten the life of your roof by many years. Watch for these common warning signs:
- Missing, lifted, or creased shingles after a windy storm
- Shingle granules collecting in gutters or at the bottom of downspouts
- Dents or dings on metal roof panels, vents, or flashing
- Water stains on ceilings or walls
- Leaks that appear during wind-driven rain
If you notice any of these signs, schedule an inspection before small problems turn into costly interior damage. You can also review our top ways to stormproof your roof to help prepare for the next storm season.
Emergency Roofing and Storm Damage Repair
When storms strike, quick action protects your home. We offer emergency roofing services for residential and commercial customers dealing with roof leaks, ice and snow, high winds, tornadoes, hail, and wind-driven rain. If you are facing an urgent problem right now, visit our leaks and storm damage page or call us directly.
How We Help With Your Insurance Claim
Filing a roof claim on your own can feel overwhelming. Your local insurance agent may be wonderful, but your agent does not decide whether your carrier properly covers storm damage. We work on your behalf to make sure your insurance company meets its obligations.
In our experience, less than 10% of roof claims are completely covered when homeowners deal with the insurance company on their own. When we handle the claim, over 70% of roofs are covered. Our process looks like this:
- A Northwest Roofing representative inspects your roof and documents the damage with photos and videos.
- You contact your insurance provider to start the claim.
- Our representative meets with your insurance adjuster to assess the damage together.
- Northwest Roofing, your adjuster, and you work together to finish the paperwork and complete the repairs.
As we like to say, the hardest thing you may need to do is pick out a color. For more detail, read our guide on how to get insurance to pay for a roof replacement.
